Opening of “Girl with the Dragon Tattoo” moves to Tuesday night
Moviegoers will get a jump on one of the most highly-anticipated films of the season as “The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo” opens one day earlier than planned, with showings beginning at 7 p.m. Tuesday, Dec. 20 nationwide, according to an announcement from Jeff Blake, chairman, Worldwide Marketing and Distribution for Sony Pictures.
Commenting on the announcement, Blake said, “This is one of the busiest times of the year for moviegoing and we can’t wait to share this outstanding thriller with audiences all over the world. We feel that by opening for night-time shows on Dec. 20, fans of the book will be given the perfect opportunity to get a jump start on the release of an exceptional film.”
In “The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo,” Academy Award-nominated director David Fincher (“The Social Network”) uncoils the world of Stieg Larsson’s global blockbuster thriller on the screen. Within the story’s labyrinth lie murder, corruption, family secrets and the inner demons of the two unexpected partners chasing the truth of a 40-year-old mystery.
Mikael Blomkvist (Daniel Craig) is a financial reporter determined to restore his honor after being convicted of libel. Engaged by one of Sweden’s wealthiest industrialists, Henrik Vanger (Academy Award nominee Christopher Plummer), to get to the bottom of the long-ago disappearance of his beloved niece, Harriet – murdered, Vanger believes, by a member of his large family – the journalist heads to a remote island on the frozen Swedish coast, unaware of what awaits him.
At the same time, Lisbeth Salander (Rooney Mara), an unusual but ingenious investigator with Milton Security, is hired to do a background check on Blomkvist, a job that ultimately leads to her joining Mikael in his investigation of who killed Harriet Vanger. Though Lisbeth shields herself from a world that has repeatedly betrayed her, her hacking skills and single-minded focus become invaluable. While Mikael goes face-to-face with the tight-lipped Vangers, Lisbeth plies the wired shadows. They begin to trace a chain of homicides from the past into the present, forging a fragile strand of trust even as they are pulled into the most savage currents of modern crime.
The film co-stars Robin Wright, Stellan Skarsgård and Joely Richardson. The screenplay is by Steven Zaillian, based on the book by Stieg Larsson originally published by Norstedts. The producers are Scott Rudin, Ole Søndberg, Søren Stærmose, and Ceán Chaffin. The film is presented by Columbia Pictures and Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Pictures.

Its like you learn my mind! You appear to know a lot about this, such as you wrote the book in it or something. I believe that you simply can do with a few p.c. to drive the message home a little bit, however instead of that, this is fantastic blog. An excellent read. I will definitely be back.
You really make it seem really easy together with your presentation but I find this matter to be really one thing that I believe I would by no means understand. It sort of feels too complex and very extensive for me. I’m looking ahead for your subsequent post, I’ll try to get the grasp of it!
Terrific! Definitely, this movie will hit the box office. I like how suspense and mysterious the movie is. Based on the trailer, the actors were indeed effective!
